Day 9 - 2:36 pm
Yesterday was one wild ride for Charlotte. The poor girl went to go get dinner on her own, but was accompanied by a very unwanted heathen. Stupid Harry wouldn't leave her alone and followed her all the way to her dorm room, where he also decided to get in her face and attempt to threaten her back into a relationship. Thankfully, Cole heard all of this happening from the other side of her door and came out to stop things from getting worst.
Charlotte had to wrap her arms around Cole's torso to keep him from chasing after Harry last night. If she hasn't of done that, he wouldn't of stopped running until he killed that son of a bîtch. After that had happened, they went back inside her dorm room and decided to talk things over. Cole had actually bought her the most beautiful flowers she had ever seen, and when she asked why he did that he only shrugged his shoulders and offered her a small smile.
The truth was that he felt a little guilty for leaving Charlotte alone at that party. She had been so worried of anxiety when she woke up the following morning in his bed with him. He wanted to show her how much he cared about her, and that he'd always be there for her. Ironically enough, after this whole bet ordeal is over with, she probably will want nothing to do with him just like she hadn't before.
Right now, Charlotte was staring at the beautiful white lilies that faded out into a pink ombré at the ends. They were absolutely captivating to gaze at. Every time she looked at them she thought of Cole. It was such a thoughtful gift, yet she had done nothing to deserve them.
Cole was such a good guy, and such a little misunderstanding had made her despise him. Sure, he had embarrassed her in front of the whole school, but people can change. Luckily, she thought he had changed for the better, not for the worst. Although, his whole mood had been dampened last night due to the unwanted arrival of Harry. All she knew was that Cole saved her butt by being at her dorm. Who knows what the psycho would have done if he hadn't be waiting for her.
Kristie came stumbling through the door alone with her hair in a tousled mess and her makeup smeared across her cheeks. Charlotte immediately jumped up and rushed over to her best friend who had just crashed back first onto their pullout couch. "Kristie, what the heck happened to you?" She questioned before she grabbed Kristie's makeup wipes and began taking the ruined makeup away from her pale skin.
A small hiccup left Kristie's mouth, which was shortly followed by a giggle as she tried to push Charlotte's arms away. "I went to Andy's dorm and got hecking wasted my dude." She grabbed the hem of her own shirt and lifted it off and over her head. A light blush cane to Charlotte's cheeks before she grabbed a clean shirt for Kristie and made her way back over to her. She was covered in little bruises all over her skin, they had to of been hickies.
"Kristie, you know how you get when you're drunk." Charlotte mumbled as she practically forced the blue haired girl to put the clean shirt over her head. She hated to see her best friend like this, and honestly it hardly ever happened anymore. Kristie used to go out and get drunk all of the time, but once the two started college, her tendencies seemed to die down a little bit. "Where are all of those hickies from?" She dared to question.
Kristie just shrugged her shoulders as she traced little outlines with her fingertips in midair. "Andy, Andy, and more Andy." With that last name she spoke, she threw her arms in the air for added dramatization. Of course it was from Andy, who else would it have been from?
"You just have a lot of marks. Kristie, I'm really starting to wonder if he's a good influence on you." She mumbled under her breath as she placed her chin in the palm of her hand. Charlotte just didn't want her closest friend to be used and tossed away by yet another pointless man. If Andy was getting her drunk and having his ways with her, then what kind of man was he? A pathetic man.
Kristie sat up at her comment, gazing at her as if she had just grown two heads and started doing the moonwalk right before her eyes. "Charlotte, Andy is a great guy." She whined before placing her hands upon her shoulders, shaking the other female lightly. All of a sudden, she gasped and flung her arms around Charlotte's neck, almost make her lose balance. "Come to Andy's friend's apartment with me then! Pleeeeaaassee." She practically begged. "Cole should be there this time." She let out another obnoxious giggle.
"First of all, how do you know that Cole will be there?" Charlotte began her interrogation as she unhooked Kristie's arms from around her neck. "Secondly, you're already drunk as it is, you don't need to drink anymore." She huffed in annoyance as she glared at the blue haired girl squirming on the couch in excitement.
"Cole usually hangs out with that group of guys. Just last night he bailed on Andy and said he had to come to our place. I figured you asked him to come over, so I just let him in." She shrugged and began to smile at the other girl. "I won't drink if you're there, I swear on it." She tried to do some weird motion on her chest, but she ended up messing it up big time.
Charlotte let out a soft sigh as she shook her head. There has been so much drama these past few days, she wasn't sure if going to hang out with Andy's friends were a good idea. Although, she had never really met any of Cole's friends before. This would be a perfect opportunity to not only surprise Cole by showing up, but also getting a chance to meet his friends. "Fine, I'll go with you. The only rule is that I'm not drinking, and you're not drinking. Deal?" Charlotte patted her best friend on the top of her head.
Kristie squealed before lounging forward to give Charlotte a big bear hug. "Thank you! This will be so much fun, I promise." She took Charlotte's hands in hers and swung them around happily. Charlotte couldn't help but to laugh at her friend, who was currently happier than a clam. "Let's choose outfits!" Kristie gasped as she ran towards Charlotte's closet.
The wooden closet opened to reveal a wide array of different colors and hues. Kristie began joyful flipping through her clothes as if they were her own. Charlotte didn't really say anything, she just quietly went over to her bed and took a seat. Hangers clanking together was the only sound in the room until Kristie began humming some song to herself quietly. She pulled three different outfits out of Charlotte's closet before she booty bumped the door shut.
"Okay, pick one." Kristie said as she laid the different outfits out on her own bed, which Charlotte could still see from her place on her own bed. The first outfit she had pulled out was a white two piece that Charlotte had only worn once. The top was a long sleeved blouse that came above the belly button and the bottoms were shorts, and each was decorated with a couple of embroidered flowers. The second outfit Charlotte would have never pieced together for herself. It consisted of a black tank top that came right above the belly button, and she paired it with a pair of tattered mom jeans with fishnet leggings to go under them. The third outfit was a yellow off the shoulder top that stopped above the bellybutton, and she paired it with a pair of dark skinny jeans.
"I personally like this one the best." Kristie stated as she pointed to the middle outfit that had the fishnet leggings. The only problem Charlotte had with that outfit was that she was going to appear in front of Cole's friends and that outfit was very sexy in her opinion, even if it was a pair of mom jeans. Charlotte stood up and picked up the yellow top and the tight skinny jeans that hugged her curves in all of the right places. Kristie nodded, a small smile coming to her lips. "I thought this would give you a nice color pop." She said as she popped the 'p' at the end of her sentence.
Charlotte gave her a quick smile as she made her way back into their shared bathroom before she shut the door. She stripped herself of her pajamas that she had worn the entire day and began slipping on the sunshine yellow top with the dark washed skinny jeans. The yellow actually looked very nice on her skin tone, it enhanced her features.
She began to clean herself a little, putting on a bit of winged eyeliner and some light eyeshadow before she topped it off with a coat of mascara. After her makeup was done, she began to brush the knots out of her wavy hair, which luckily cooperate with her today and did not frizz. She pulled part of the top layer of her hair back into a half up half down bun before she called it a day.
Stepping out of the bathroom, Kristie's eyes were fixated on her. She gave her a whistle that males would likely use to catcall a woman, and she hopped up from her own spot on the bed. While Charlotte had been getting ready, Kristie changed into a black bralette with a leather jacket overtop of it and a pair of black skinny jeans. She had such a slimmed figure, and sometimes it made Charlotte self conscious since she had a bit more 'junk in the trunk.'
"My best friend is hot as hell." Kristie smiled, seeming to be a bit back to her normal self. Hopefully, most of the alcohol had left her system by now since the two of them had early classes tomorrow morning. "Pair that with a pair of nude wedges and it'll be all finished." She clasped her hands together as she stared her best friend up and down.
"Kristie, what is Cole like with his friends?" Charlotte blurted out of nowhere. She took a quick intake of breath as Kristie's demeanor dropped a little at her question. That didn't look good.
"Well, he's a bit different with his friends. Hopefully since you're there he will be pleasant." She offered Charlotte a small smile before she continued to lace up her black combat boots. Charlotte could've broken out into a sweat at Kristie's comment. How would he treat her in front of his friends? Would he act like they weren't a thing?
Technically, Charlotte and Cole were not official, but they were practically dating. Maybe he didn't want to date, maybe this was just another fling for him. Who knew, but all she knew was that if he didn't acknowledge her tonight that they were going to have a problem.
A big problem.
HOLY GUACAMOLE THIS STORY HAS 1.98k READS AND I AM DOING THE CHA CHA SLIDE LOOKING AT THAT NUMBER! It's so hard to believe that three chapters ago I only had 700 some reads, and now I almost have 2k. I could've only dreamt to get that many reads on this story.
I will continue to say thank you as long as you continue to read, and I love all the support I've gotten this far. So THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN.
Also Day 9 was only supposed to be one chapter long BUT I realized that Day 9 is on a Sunday so I mean no school for Charlotte today (woohoo).
What do you think will happen when Charlotte pops up unexpectedly at Cole's friend's house?
GUESS WE WILL ALL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE.
